New date format odoo 19

Question

Odoo is making drastic changes based on feedback from a few users about the current setup — for example, the date format — while ignoring millions of users who are perfectly fine with how things are.
Changing the date format from numbers to letters should have been optional or at least adjustable through a setting.

Hi,
In Odoo 19, the datepicker defaults to MMM d (e.g., Sep 18) because it uses the Luxon library with localized formats, which can be confusing compared to the old MM/dd/yyyy. You can change this by editing the Language → Date Format in settings, but the picker may still show abbreviated months. The most reliable fix is a small JavaScript override in a custom module to force MM/dd/yyyy it everywhere.
